Ha, 3:22 the yellow and blue car that streaks by is a member of this site. Looks like a pretty funny documentary.

That car he had at the beginning looked like an XXXS. That's a vintage car so it's cool!Maybe this movie will hit big and start a whole new RC craze. :shock:

This would be a cool story if fox news wasn't so biased towards Losi's

I am not sure why they had a XXXS. the car that was running is a TC5 i believe. They don't have a lot of XXXS running at this location.

That's REALLY funny. The kind of funny that is beyond a laugh. Like, "wow, that was really funny."

What myth?

Fox is entertainment. News is not what they do well. ;)

Hmm.. Doesn't look like a great documentary to me; or at least the trailer is weak. Seems to go for all the cheap shots...? The guy with missing teeth, the bored trophy models etc and doesn't really tell a story. But I'd still like to see it.

Just saw the trailer for a documentary for another of my hobbies; this seems to be a little better directed - or again at least the trailer:
